Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[Rodafina]

Is that only an innate skill or something one can learn?

 

[TBRS1]

How about saying "Shhh" very loudly while developing the skill to giggle maniacally?

 

[Rodafina]

Wouldn't that cause a bit of brain overload?

 

[TBRS1]

Would it work if we replaced all the 20 amp fuses in your brain with 30 amp fuses, or would we have to rewire the whole thing?

 

[Rodafina]

Isn’t an experiment the only way to know for sure?

 

[TBRS1]

So that means you're willing to go through my experimental procedure?

 

[Rodafina]

Are you trying to skip the informed consent step?

 

[TBRS1]

Didn't the previous detailed discussion and subsequent question act as a form of formal informed consent?

 

[NDR2]

Can informed consent be obtained informally?

 

[TBRS1]

Do you mean like with a handshake, or scribbled on a wet napkin, or something along those lines?

 

[NDR2]

Scribbles aren’t lines, are they?

 

[TBRS1]

How would I draw a scribble if I weren't allowed to use lines?

 

[NDR2]

Can’t you ever come up with something new to say on the spot?

 

[TBRS1]

Spots, scribbles, lines... are you having trouble making up your mind?

 

[Rodafina]

How does one apply makeup to their mind?

 

[TBRS1]

Wouldn't you need a really, really pointed applicator to get past the skull?

 

[Rodafina]

Are you suggesting I get a lobotomy instead?

 

[TBRS1]

Who would ever imagine that educated humans would invent something as horrible as a lobotomy, and convince other humans that lobotomies are a good idea?

 

[NDR2]

Isn’t that reality?

 

[TBRS1]

If all real things make up reality, do all fans make up fantasy?
